embodiment 10d

[0048]Alternative Embodiment 10D includes the wrist unit system (60 or 60A) with the pressure sensor or sensors that is able to make whistle-like sounds in the last lap or last 24, length of the swim.

[0049]Alternative Embodiment 10E comprises a computer 122A equipped with necessary software and the interface, at least one hand sensor unit, and at least one foot sensor unit. In this alternative, the computer 122A is a surrogate of the wrist unit 18 in the preferred embodiment, and thus the software included in the computer 122A must include the functionality in the software in the wrist unit 18.

[0050]Another alternative embodiment includes a wrist unit that vibrates instead of making sounds while in the last lap or length.

Abstract

The swim device includes a wrist unit system wearable on a wrist and a hand, at least one hand sensor unit that is wearable on a hand, and at least one foot sensor unit wearable on a foot. The wrist unit system includes a wrist unit and at least one pressure sensor. The wrist unit includes an integrated circuit chip (ICC) computer; a battery; an alarm, a display and housing with input buttons, and a wrist band with an embedded antenna. The hand / foot sensor unit includes an integrated circuit chip (ICC) computer with a battery. The pressure sensor is attached to a cap that is worn on the first segment of a finger or big toe in such a manner that the pressure sensor faces the water-bound side of the finger or big toe.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]This invention relates generally to a device used by the swimmer to measure elapsed time of a swim, count the number of laps, and analyze the swim.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Available information on the Internet indicates that there are 300,000 competitive swimmers of all age groups and another 40,000 well trained swimmers who swim regularly in the United States. These numbers probably imply that there are roughly one million competitive and / or well trained swimmers in the world, and the number is probably growing rapidly as the income level of people in some of large developing nations is rising rapidly. One swim device that is probably sought by these swimmers and possibly many more millions of regular recreational swimmers is a wearable device that is capable of measuring elapsed time accurately, counting the number of laps in a swim automatically, and making alarm sounds while the swimmer is swimming the last lap or length.[0003]Two types of swi...
